Description

The invention relates to a method for delivering energy from at least one autonomously driving vehicle to an external vehicle and different energy consumers from a vehicle. Furthermore, the invention relates to an energy delivery system and a corresponding vehicle.

The DE 10 2014 207 033 A1 relates to the cost-effective provision of electricity for an energy network using photovoltaics. The concept on which this invention is based is to incorporate areas not previously usable for solar energy generation and to use them to generate PV electricity with the aid of PV systems. These areas are public traffic areas such as parking spaces, which are usually not fully used, partially unused commercial spaces, parking spaces in residential areas and little used streets. It is common to all areas that vehicles can be moved and positioned on them. The vehicles and buffers of the PV electricity take place in a first procedure with PV systems that are installed on autonomously driving vehicles that are positioned on a target traffic area during the first phase. In a second phase of the method, the vehicle is moved to a network connection point via which the temporarily stored electrical energy is fed into the energy network.

The DE 10 2008 037 574 A1 relates to a local system which has an energy network with which energy consumers and stationary stations for connecting mobile energy sources are connected. The system allows an optimization of the energy use by dynamically adding mobile energy sources. By automatically covering part of the total energy consumption in the system by feeding in energy from mobile energy sources, fluctuations in the amount of energy that must be obtained from the public power grid can be kept low.

The DE 10 2016 223 555 A1 relates to a method and a system for operating a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine on a road, comprising the following steps:

• Operating the motor vehicle in a driving state according to instructions from a driver and / or an assistance system,
• Determining the amount of electrical energy stored in the memory of the motor vehicle by means of a memory monitoring device,
• Comparing the determined quantity of the stored electrical energy with a predefinable limit value with a control unit which initiates an energy output in the event that the quantity of the electrical energy stored in the motor vehicle exceeds the predefinable limit value,
• - Feeding a selectable amount of electrical energy from the motor vehicle into an external energy absorption device arranged in a section or next to the road with an energy monitoring means. Furthermore, the invention relates to a motor vehicle with such a system and a network for supplying electrically powered vehicles with electrical energy.

This results in a disadvantage that an autonomous vehicle can only deliver energy to a connection point of an energy supply network.

The object of the present invention is to provide a method, an energy delivery system and a vehicle with which the energy delivery of an autonomously driving vehicle can be carried out more flexibly and in accordance with requirements.

This object is achieved by a method, an electronic energy delivery system and a vehicle according to the independent patent claims. Useful further training results from the subclaims.

One aspect of the invention relates to a method for delivering energy from at least one autonomously driving vehicle to an energy consumer external to the vehicle and different from a vehicle, an energy demand signal which includes an energy requirement of the energy consumer being generated by the energy consumer. The energy demand signal of the energy consumer is transmitted to an electronic management unit, the electronic management unit checking, depending on the energy demand of the energy consumer, whether this energy requirement can be provided at least in part with the autonomously driving vehicle. If this is the case, the electronic management unit generates a dispatch signal with which the autonomously driving vehicle to which the energy consumer is dispatched. As a result, in particular a need-based energy supply to the energy consumer, which is, for example, an energy consumer decoupled from an energy supplier or from an energy network, can be improved and carried out efficiently. The energy of an autonomously driving vehicle, if it can be delivered, can thus be used more flexibly. By Taking into account the respective energy requirements of the energy consumer, by sending a suitable autonomously driving vehicle to the energy consumer, an energy supply and / or energy supply can be carried out more quickly and according to requirements.

The energy that the energy consumer needs can in particular also be provided by a plurality of autonomously driving vehicles, so that a reaction to a high energy requirement of the energy consumer can take place as quickly as possible.

The autonomously driving vehicle is, for example, an autonomously driving electric vehicle or an autonomously driving motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine. The autonomously driving vehicle can be equipped with a bidirectional loading and unloading system in which the energy can be absorbed and given to the energy consumer.

The autonomously driving vehicle can be a conventional person-transporting autonomously driving vehicle (for example an autonomously driving taxi) or a specially designed for transporting energy autonomously driving vehicle (for example an autonomously driving energy tanker). In particular, the autonomously driving vehicles can be part of a vehicle fleet which are designed to deliver energy.

The autonomously driving vehicle can in particular be equipped with an energy delivery device with which the autonomously driving vehicle can deliver the energy desired by the energy consumer to the energy consumer.

For example, to deliver electrical energy, the energy delivery device can be equipped with an inductive charging station.

In particular, when a fossil fuel is released as energy from the vehicle to the energy consumer, the energy delivery device can be formed on the ground or in the road surface. The vehicle can deliver the fossil fuels via special tap connections on the underside of the vehicle. By means of a sensor device of the energy delivery device, the vehicle can be precisely maneuvered to a position for energy delivery, so that the tap connections can be coupled easily and securely.

The energy consumer is in particular an energy consumer decoupled from the energy supply network, for example a conventional power network. In particular, the energy consumer has his own independent energy supply network, which is supplied with energy by energy storage units. The energy consumer can be, for example, a self-sufficient house that is located, for example, in a remote region (for example, mountainous region, areas that are difficult to access, etc.). The energy consumer can in particular be equipped with an energy absorption device with which the energy provided by the autonomously driving vehicle can be absorbed.

The energy made available can in particular be electrical energy, fossil energy or bioenergy.

The energy consumer can in particular be equipped with an electronic control unit, with which the energy consumer can generate the energy demand signal and transmit it to the electronic management unit. The communication of the energy demand signal from the electronic unit to the electronic management unit takes place in particular wirelessly, for example via Bluetooth, 3G or LTE.

The energy demand signal can be generated automatically and / or manually by the energy consumer. When the energy signal is generated automatically, a certain limit of the available energy can be determined. The limit can be, for example, a defined low energy level in the energy store of the energy consumer.

The electronic administration unit can be, for example, a central unit or a central server or can be designed as a decentralized unit. The electronic administration unit can be designed in particular in the respective autonomously driving vehicles and / or an energy consumer. The electronic administration unit can be controlled and used, for example, with a web-based interface. The sending signal to the autonomously driving vehicle generated by the electronic administration unit contains in particular the coordinates of the energy consumer and the distance traveled from the current location of the autonomously driving vehicle to the energy consumer.

As a result, the autonomously driving vehicle is brought unerringly to the energy consumer.

It is preferably provided that a type and / or quantity and / or an urgency of the need for the requested energy of the energy consumer is communicated with the energy demand signal. It can thereby be achieved that the desired type of energy and the required amount are made available to the energy consumer as required. The Energy consumers can determine what type of energy they need and how much of them they need. In particular, the administrative unit can react appropriately to the situation by determining the urgency of the energy requirement. Thus, in the case of a high level of urgency, a vehicle can be dispatched which is locally close to the energy consumer and / or several vehicles can be dispatched to the energy consumer at the same time for delivering energy. The type of energy can be a fossil fuel, for example, gasoline, diesel, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), CNG (compressed natural gas) or hydrogen. The type of energy can also be electrical energy, which is obtained, for example, from regenerative energy sources.

The autonomously driving vehicle can be designed so that it can absorb, store and deliver any type of energy. This is particularly the case when the vehicle is designed with its primary function as an energy delivery vehicle. It can itself be driven with a first type of energy and can be designed with at least one memory with which a type of energy that is to be supplied can be stored. If the vehicle is configured in its primary function for the transportation of people and has an energy type for its own drive, in this case this energy type can be provided as energy to be delivered to the energy consumer.

The urgency of the demand for the requested energy also means that if there is a simultaneous request for an energy requirement from several energy consumers, the electronic management system can decide which of the energy consumers must be supplied with energy first. The energy consumer can, for example, use the generated energy demand signal to indicate how much residual energy he still has available or to indicate that an upcoming increased energy consumption will take place. These are examples of decision criteria for the administrative unit, which energy consumer is more urgent.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that, depending on the energy demand signal, in particular depending on a type and / or a quantity and / or an urgency of the demand for the requested energy of the energy consumer, a number of vehicles which are checked with regard to a delivery option are specified and / or a size of a surrounding area around the energy consumer is predetermined by searching for at least one vehicle that drives autonomously with regard to the delivery option. It can thereby be achieved that, in the case of a particularly urgent requirement for energy, it is checked which and whether an autonomously driving vehicle is located as close as possible to the energy consumer, as a result of which fast and efficient energy delivery to the energy consumer can be achieved. For example, the size of the surrounding area can be predefined by the energy consumer, and depending on the energy requirement of the energy consumer or according to a time criterion, the surrounding areas can be defined accordingly. The available autonomous vehicles in the vicinity of the energy consumer are checked by the electronic management system, which uses the transmitted energy demand signal from the energy consumer to decide whether a vehicle is available in the immediate vicinity of the energy consumer and whether this vehicle has sufficient energy reserves to be specified for the required Has energy. In particular, the surrounding area can be assigned to the urgency, with, for example, the urgency of an energy consumer in a remote location without a supply network connection being a very high priority. In particular, several autonomous vehicles can also be ordered to the energy supplier, so that, on the one hand, a large amount of energy can be made available and it is ensured that, in the event of a vehicle failure, the further vehicle can deliver energy.

In particular, the autonomously driving vehicles are in constant contact with the electronic management system, so that the electronic management system receives the exact location and the available energy of each individual autonomously driving vehicle.

Provision is preferably made for the autonomously driving vehicle to be independently returned to a reference location after the requested energy has been given to the energy consumer, in particular by means of an electronic return signal which is generated in particular by the electronic administration unit. Through the autonomous return of the autonomously driving vehicle to the reference location, the autonomous vehicle can in particular be recharged or refueled after the requested energy has been successfully delivered to the energy consumer, so that the autonomously driving vehicle is available as quickly as possible for a new energy request by another energy consumer . The autonomous vehicle is sent to the energy consumer by the electronic management unit, in particular with the dispatch signal, and after the requested energy has been delivered, the autonomous vehicle drives independently and without wasting time Starting time or starting point, where, for example, the vehicle has absorbed the energy, back again.

In a further advantageous exemplary embodiment, it is provided that the reference location is defined as a predefined location or is defined as a dynamically changing location and is determined as a function of an energy reserve of the vehicle and / or of a travel distance to be covered from the energy consumer to the reference location. For example, the reference location can be the starting point of the autonomously driving vehicle, in particular this can be, for example, an energy charging station at which the vehicle has absorbed the required energy. Depending on the route that is defined by the energy consumer to the reference location, the vehicle can use an electronic system to check whether the upcoming route to the original reference location can be carried out with the vehicle's energy reserve. If this is not the case, the electronic administration unit, for example, determines a new location at which the autonomously driving vehicle is ordered. For example, this new location can be an energy filling station or a charging station or a service area. It is also conceivable that the autonomously driving vehicle was ordered from a household to the energy consumer and returns to its original starting point after the requested energy has been delivered. In particular, the reference location to be controlled can be adapted accordingly, for example in the event of a road closure, so that the vehicle can use the existing energy reserve to reach the new reference location. The reference location can be changed and adapted dynamically, in particular with the electronic administration unit. For example, the reference location can have a charging facility for the electric vehicle.

In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the energy delivery of the at least one autonomously driving vehicle to the energy consumer takes place in such a way that the autonomous driving vehicle can still return to a reference location with the residual energy after the energy delivery to the energy consumer. With the help of the autonomously driving vehicle, which is in constant communication-related connection to the electronic administration unit, the energy delivery to the energy consumer is monitored so that the vehicle still has enough residual energy to return to a reference location. In particular, this can be the case if, for unforeseeable reasons, more energy was consumed than intended during the outward journey from the reference location to the energy consumer. As a result, the requested energy or the requested energy requirement of the energy consumer can no longer be completely covered by the one vehicle, but at least it can be achieved that the autonomously driving vehicle can return to the reference location without being left behind on the route. For example, if it is determined that it is no longer possible to deliver sufficient energy to the energy consumer, the electronic administration unit can request a further autonomously driving vehicle to deliver the energy.

In a further advantageous embodiment it is provided that the vehicle provides a first energy source and at least one different second energy source, the first energy source being provided for the energy consumer and the second energy source being provided for a vehicle memory of the vehicle and / or the first energy source for the vehicle memory of the vehicle and the second energy source are provided for the energy consumer. For example, the first energy source can be a fossil fuel, which is delivered to the energy consumer, and the autonomous vehicle is driven with the second energy source, which is electrical energy. However, it can also be made exactly inverse with respect to the energy sources.

Depending on the energy required for the outward and / or return journey of the autonomously driving vehicle from the reference point to the energy consumer, the autonomously driving vehicle or the electronic administration unit can decide which of the two energy sources is to be given to the energy consumer. The decision as to which energy source is to be given to the energy consumer can be taken into account, in particular, depending on the type and / or the amount of the requested energy, so that on the one hand the energy consumer can be supplied with the requested energy and at the same time enough energy for the return trip of the autonomously driving vehicle Vehicle can be provided.

It is preferably provided that the management unit checks whether there is a charging station for the energy required by the energy consumer on the route of the autonomously driving vehicle and the energy consumer. Depending on the state of charge of the vehicle with respect to this energy of the vehicle, the vehicle can be fully charged at the charging station or at least up to a defined fill level before it arrives at the energy consumer. It can thereby be achieved that the requested energy of the energy consumer is made fully available to the energy consumer can. In particular, in the case of long distances between the reference location of the vehicle and the energy consumer, the energy storage of the vehicle can be temporarily recharged if, in particular, the energy consumption of the vehicle has been calculated higher than before.

The charging station is to be understood in particular as a charging station for electrical energy or as a filling station for liquid and / or gaseous fuels.

The fill level is to be understood in particular as an electrical state of charge of the energy store or a degree of filling of the energy store with liquid or gaseous fuels.

Another aspect of the invention relates to an energy delivery system for delivering energy from at least one autonomously driving vehicle to an energy consumer different from a vehicle, with an electronic administration unit for performing a method according to the above-mentioned aspect or an advantageous embodiment thereof.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle with a corresponding energy delivery system according to one of the previously mentioned aspects. The vehicle is in particular a ground-based vehicle.

The invention also includes further developments of the method according to the invention which have features as have already been described in connection with the further developments of the motor vehicle according to the invention. For this reason, the corresponding developments of the method according to the invention are not described again here.

The invention also includes combinations of the features of the described embodiments.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described below. For this purpose, the only FIG. Shows an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention.

The exemplary embodiments explained below are preferred embodiments of the invention. In the exemplary embodiments, the described components of the embodiments each represent individual features of the invention that are to be considered independently of one another and that further develop the invention independently of one another. Therefore, the disclosure is intended to include combinations of the features of the embodiments other than those shown. Furthermore, the described embodiments can also be supplemented by further features of the invention that have already been described.

In the figure, the same reference numerals designate elements that have the same function.

Overall, the figure shows a schematic illustration of the delivery of energy from at least one autonomously driving vehicle 1 to an energy consumer external to the vehicle and different from a vehicle 2nd . The vehicles 1 is a ground-based vehicle. The vehicle 1 can be provided in its primary function for the transportation of people. For example, it can be a passenger car. It can also be a truck. However, its primary function can also be designed as an energy delivery vehicle.

With an electronic control unit, for example 5 of the energy consumer 2nd an energy demand signal can be generated which represents an energy demand of the energy consumer 2nd includes. The energy demand signal is, for example, with the electronic control unit 5 to an electronic administrative unit 3rd an energy delivery system 4th transmitted. Through the electronic administrative unit 3rd of the energy delivery system 4th becomes dependent on the energy consumption of the energy consumer 2nd checked whether with the autonomously driving vehicle 1 this energy requirement can be provided at least in part. If this is the case, the electronic administrative unit can 3rd a sending signal is generated with which the autonomously driving vehicle 1 to the energy consumer 2nd is posted.

The energy consumer 2nd is in particular an energy consumer, which is decoupled from a conventional energy supply network. The energy consumer 2nd can be designed and arranged to supply energy to a building. The energy consumer 2nd can in particular be a self-sufficient energy consumer that is not connected to an energy supply network.

The autonomously driving vehicle 1 can have, for example, an internal combustion engine or an electric motor or a hybrid drive as a drive unit for driving the vehicle.

The electronic administrative unit 3rd can be, for example, a central unit or a server, or can be decentralized. With a decentralized electronic administrative unit 3rd can do this in the autonomously driving vehicle 1 be arranged yourself.

The energy consumer 2nd can be sent to the electronic administrative unit 3rd transmit an energy requirement, with at least one autonomously driving vehicle 1 this energy requirement is provided. In particular, several vehicles can 1 , 1' , 1" together cover the requested energy requirement. The energy demand signal can be a type and / or quantity and / or an urgency of the demand for the requested energy of the energy consumer 2nd represent. In particular, the type, for example electrical energy or fossil fuels, can be communicated. In particular, depending on the energy demand signal, preferably depending on the type and / or quantity and / or the urgency of the need of the requested energy of the energy consumer 2nd , a number of vehicles 1 , 1' , 1" , which are checked with regard to a delivery option. In addition or instead of this, a size of a surrounding area can be used 6 , 6 ' to the energy consumer 2nd is specified by using at least one of the autonomous vehicles suitable with regard to the delivery option 1 is searched. The autonomously driving vehicle 1 or the vehicles 1 , 1' , 1" can with the energy consumer 2nd and / or with the electronic administrative unit 3rd to be in constant communication-technical contact.

With the energy demand signal, which is sent to the electronic management unit 3rd transmitted, it can also be checked whether and / or to what extent an autonomously driving vehicle 1 the energy needs of the energy consumer 2nd can cover. This also makes it possible to determine whether there are multiple vehicles 1 , 1' , 1" are necessary. For example, the surrounding area 6 can also be subdivided into several sub-areas, whereby different sub-areas can be assigned different levels of urgency. Depending on the type of urgency, the energy can initially be given to the energy consumer 2nd carried out, which has the highest level of urgency. Depending on the urgency, the electronic administrative unit in particular 3rd to decide which autonomous vehicle 1 is most appropriate to the current energy needs of the energy consumer 2nd to be met in terms of accessibility and quantity and / or type of energy.

In particular, the autonomously driving vehicle 1 after delivering the requested energy to the energy consumer 2nd independently to a reference location 7 through the electronic administrative unit 3rd be ordered back. In particular, this is the reference location 7 the starting point where the autonomous vehicle 1 according to a transmitted energy requirement of the energy consumer 2nd sets off. The reference location 7 can be a predefined location, which is determined by the electronic administrative unit 3rd is set. It is also possible that the reference location 7 is a dynamically changing location and depends on the vehicle's energy reserve 1 . A reference location 7 can also be from a distance traveled by the energy consumer 2nd to the reference location 7 be determined.

In particular, it can also be stipulated that the energy delivery to the energy consumer 2nd is done in such a way that after the energy has been released, the autonomous vehicle 1 still has a sufficiently large energy reserve to preferably go to the reference location 7 to be able to return. Should the vehicle's energy 1 , especially during the return trip, is no longer sufficient to get to the reference location 7 The electronic administrative unit can be able to return 3rd a new reference location 7 ' , 7 " be determined, which with the energy reserve of the vehicle 1 is achievable. In particular, the new reference location 7 ' , 7 " a charging or fueling option for the autonomously driving vehicle 1 contain, on which that energy can be supplied, which is necessary for the own movement of the vehicle 1 is required.

In particular, when there is an energy requirement of the energy consumer 2nd with high urgency by the electronic administrative unit 3rd or the energy consumer 2nd be determined that the energy demand by the vehicle 1 should be provided. The vehicle 1 is in the surrounding area 6 , which is the shortest distance to the energy consumer 2nd having. The other vehicles 1' , 1" which is in a wider area 6 ' located, the required urgency of the energy needs of the energy consumer 2nd not meet.

The autonomously driving vehicle 1 can provide a first energy carrier and at least one different second energy carrier in one embodiment, the first energy carrier for the energy consumer 2nd and the second energy source for a vehicle storage 10th of the vehicle 1 can be provided and / or the first energy source for the vehicle storage 10th of the vehicle 1 and the second energy source for the energy consumer 2nd can be provided. Energy sources can be electrical energy or fossil energy or bioenergy.

The vehicle 1 can, for example, with at least two vehicle memories 10th be equipped. This allows the vehicle 1 absorb different energy sources and deliver at least one energy source. For example, a first vehicle memory 10th as an energy source for the own drive unit of the vehicle 1 can be provided and with a second vehicle storage the energy requirement of the energy consumer 2nd to be provided. In particular, the vehicle memory 10th of the vehicle 1 be designed so that they are interchangeable. For example, a full vehicle memory 10th through a change device at the energy consumer 2nd be removed and replaced by an empty energy storage. The vehicle 1 can also be designed as a hybrid vehicle. Then both vehicle stores 10th also there, energy for the various drive units of the vehicle 1 to deliver. However, these energies can preferably also be given to an energy consumer 2nd be provided. So it is also possible that when an energy consumer 2nd The vehicle needs energy from a first energy source 1 , if possible, exclusively on the basis of a consumption of the second energy source to the energy consumer 2nd moves. This allows the maximum amount of the first energy source to be sent to the energy consumer 2nd be given because when the vehicle arrives 1 to the energy consumer 2nd no first source of energy from the vehicle 1 itself is consumed. The same also applies to the second energy source if the energy consumer 2nd Energy of the second energy carrier is required.

The electronic administrative unit 3rd of the energy delivery system 4th can in particular check whether on the route of the autonomously driving vehicle 1 to the energy consumer 2nd a charging station 11 for those of the energy consumer 2nd required energy is available and depends on the state of charge of the vehicle 1 regarding this energy the vehicle 1 at the charging station 11 fully loaded with energy before it reaches the energy consumer 2nd arrives.

In particular, the energy consumption of the energy consumer 2nd by a user's vehicle 8th to be provided. With the user 8th is a third party. The user 8th can make an inquiry about the use of his vehicle 1 for the supply of energy to the energy consumer 2nd via a portable communication terminal 9 accept or reject. The portable communication terminal 9 can for example be a smartphone or a tablet of the user 8th be. The user 8th can in particular determine how much energy he can provide.
